Taste the sensation of decadent dark chocolate and chilling mint. YORK Peppermint Patties are as cool as the fall breeze that's picking up. And these yellow and orange wrappers make these the perfect fall treat.

The name York Peppermint Patty comes from the town they originated (York, Pa.) and the soft gummy payment center, which is the patty.

Peppermint has a strong sweetish odour and a warm pungent taste with a cooling aftertaste. The leaves are typically used fresh as a culinary herb, and the flowers are dried and used to flavour candy, desserts, beverages, salads, and other foods. Its essential oil is also widely used as a flavouring.

Overall, peppermint can be described as tasting green, minty, cooling and having a sweet candy menthol-like nuance.

The York Cone Company (York, Pennsylvania) introduced the York Peppermint Pattie in 1940. The York Peppermint Pattie was acquired by Hershey's in 1998. Hershey's, the largest candy maker in the U.S., closed its manufacturing plant in Reading, Pennsylvania on February 20, 2009.

In popular culture, no other character has been so vocal about gender inequality on the field. On Aug. 22, 1966, Schulz introduced Patricia Reichardt, almost always referred to as Peppermint Patty, to his strip, which at that point had been published for nearly 16 years.

Peppermint and winter may actually just be…a cultural phenomenon. In his research of peppermint candy, Berley found that before AC existed, hard candies could only be successfully made in the winter. Summer heat would ruin the texture of the candy, so hard candies were a wintertime treat.

Peppermint (Mentha piperita), a popular flavoring for gum, toothpaste, and tea, is also used to soothe an upset stomach or to aid digestion. It has a calming and numbing effect, and is often used to treat headaches, skin irritation, nausea, diarrhea, menstrual cramps, flatulence, and anxiety associated with depression.

Peppermint (mentha piperita), which is derived from spearmint, contains more than 30% menthol and up to 0.2% carvone. Carvone is a substance found in many plant essential oils. Spearmint (mentha spicata), on the other hand, contains up to 70% carvone and only up to 1% menthol.

The peppermint leaves have a characteristic, sweetish, strong odor and an aromatic, warm, pungent taste, with a cooling aftertaste. The essential oils of M. × piperita cultivated plants are characterized by the preponderance of menthone, isomenthone, and the different isomers of menthol.
